Read MoreBecause I Love You
/
What God is and how God speaks to us is more than we will ever comprehend, but the universe God is revealed in seems to be saying that we exist and matter for only one reason, “Because I love you.” That’s it. Nothing more.

Fabric's 15th Birthday!
/
Our first official start of weekly gatherings, then as Jacob’s Well, was Sept 17, 2006. We’ve seen couples meet, get married and have kids who are now in high school! We will use September 19 by being together outside, enjoying some music, sharing our vision and what we see in our future, and we’ll spend time remembering, imagining and celebrating.

Happy Together? It's Complicated.
/
Spirit Garage and Fabric will gather together at the Minnehaha Falls Bandstand on Sunday, September 5. There are plenty of benches, lots of space, and a good amount of shade at The Falls. Our theme will be “Happy Together? It’s Complicated.” As we move in and out of various states of the pandemic, see people we haven’t seen in a long time, or come together on a Sunday morning, there are many things to celebrate. And also, it’s complicated.
Read MoreThe Game of Life
/
If you are reading this you are a player in the Game of Life. The assumptions you hold (knowingly or not) about what kind of game life is and how to play affect how you show up and experience it everyday. Starting August 1 we’ll have some fun, kids and adults together, exploring some of the common games we play as humans that keep us from playing in the big, real, challenging, amazing Game of Life.
Read More7 Wonders
/
The ancient Greeks picked 7 knock-your-socks-off human made features of their world. They are (or were) amazing but they aren’t the only wonders of this world we share. We’re spending the months of June and July at the Minnehaha Falls bandstand celebrating 7 more wonders among the many that exist around and within us.
Read MoreNew Grooves & Remembering
/
One groove after another – it’s what happens when you press play on life. Spring turns to summer. There are new relationships, jobs, health and financial situations. New vaccines come along with new variants. New awareness brings new feelings, opportunities and challenges. Change hits and your life, our world must seek rhythms in a new groove.
Read MoreEnough
/
It is one of those words that drives us crazy because the quest for it never ends and the harder we chase it the emptier we feel. So what is enough? Is it what you already have, or something you can never have? The question of enough creeps into every nook and cranny of your life; your money and your stuff, your expectations and ambitions, even yourself. Join us as we look at what enough thinking does to us, and what it can do for us.
Read MoreJesus + Sisyphus (Easter 2021)
/
Easter is coming. It’s coming after a year of being sealed up and weighed down by the pandemic and a handful or two of other things, including winter. On Easter, Sunday, April 4, Fabric gathered via video livestreams to have some fun despite those stones. Let’s take a break from pushing them. And we might even be able to realize that they don’t seal us off from what really matters as much as we think. We are calling it, “Jesus & Sisyphus.” Watch the amazing video gathering or listen to the podcast to find out why!
Read MoreLiving Room
/
Do you have it? Not the room with the couch you’ve spent more time on than ever in these pandemic months, but the room you need to live, to breathe, to be. It’s hard to feel human or treat others that way when you are squeezed from the inside and the outside. That living room evaporates with demands, judgements, expectations and rules. One way of understanding Jesus is that he came to do just this; restore our living room. Time for a rehab of yours? Join Fabric as we take three weeks to rediscover some living room wisdom together!
Read MoreOur Place
/
For eons we didn’t need to know it, now for centuries we haven’t caught on to it, but today we have no choice but to recognize it: this planet is our place and we need to find our place in it. The days of thinking we can be apart from nature are over - we are inseparably part of nature. Let’s explore the joy-filled and promise-laden place of being part of our planet - I hate to say it, but - before it is too late...
Read MoreNo Strangers: Opting in to Revolutionary Love
/
Welcome to 2021. We have come through a remarkable year of turmoil, inequity, reckoning, and loss. We have made strangers of each other and even, perhaps, become strange to ourselves. How are you? In this new year what is not only worthy of your opting into, but also possible? That’s where Valarie Kaur’s (See No Stranger) Revolutionary Love comes in. It reverberates with Jesus’ calls to love our neighbors as ourselves - and even our opponents - in a way that not only changes the game but helps us stay in it with our whole selves. Join us with your whole self this January!
